What are the dos and don'ts of finding a job in Guadeloupe?

Hello everyone,

Where is the best place to start when looking for a job in Guadeloupe? Is it better to job-hunt by directly contacting the company of your interest, or should job-seekers rely on a recruitment agency, for example?

Are there any unique aspects that job-seekers should consider when preparing their CV/résumé and cover letter? Should a photo be included?

Do you have any tips on interview conduct in Guadeloupe? Are there any particulars, such as greetings or behavioural customs?

In you opinion, is knowledge of the local language or a regional language necessary to successfully apply for a job? What level of the language should job-seekers have mastered?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi Priscilla, Just wanted to see if you've found any work in Guadeloupe, or how your search is going. I'm from the US but visiting Guadeloupe for an extended stay. :)
